Ranger Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Client invested in Las Vega condo rentals in 2008 on advice of son. Client quit making payments after management company fell apart and rent dried up. Cost 280,000, put down 90,000 and borrowed 190,000. Basis is about 270,000 after depreciation. Per 1099-A: amount owed = 187,000, fmv =137,00 and box 5 is checked yes. Am I correct that client has ordinary gain of $50,000 (unless insolvency can be proved) and no loss is allowed?
